Jamarco Jones 2018 NFL Draft Profile<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Ohio State is a collegiate program which immediately comes to mind from the standpoint of producing NFL level talent. But they aren’t necessarily known for doing it at any one position on a consistent basis. It’s really just a broad-based phenomenon. In recent years, though, elite offensive linemen at the college level have emerged from Columbus and excelled in the pros. Pat Elflein<\/a><\/strong> is a good example, making an immediate impact on a Minnesota Vikings<\/a> team that made it all the way to the NFC title game. Jamarco Jones<\/a><\/strong> is in position to follow in his and others’ footsteps.<\/p>\n

A highly regarded consensus four-star prospect, Jones saw limited time as a true freshman during the Buckeyes’ championship season of 2014. It was more of the same a year later with Taylor Decker<\/a><\/strong> firmly entrenched as the starter at left tackle in both seasons. But when Decker moved on as part of a banner 2016 Ohio State draft class that saw him and four other Buckeyes go in the first round, it was Jones’ time to shine. He did just that, making 27 consecutive starts during his junior and senior seasons.<\/p>\n

During his time as the starter, he played his part in enabling the Scarlet and Gray to dictate things at the line of scrimmage. In both years, the Buckeyes led the Big Ten and finished top 20 nationally in rushing yards. December 2017 was a pretty good month for Jones. Not only did he help the Buckeyes clinch the Big Ten title and win the Cotton Bowl in dominating fashion. He also graduated a semester early with a degree in family resource management.<\/p>\n
